Coroner Wagner yesterday held an inquest
over the remains of G. W. Webb, the old rag
picker killed on Saturday on the Vandalia tracks
west Of the city. The investigation of the old
mans habits brought out the fact that he was
addicted to the use of opium, and the Coroner
thinks he was under the influence of the drug
when he was killed. His son and daughter, re-

OF his death, but yet have not claimed the

ANTI-COERgI0N.

For weeks the British Parliamen

kblll, With the party in power in Eng
s land there is no otherrecourse than this
The Salisbury party starting with tht
idea of refusing justice to Ireland, art
compelled to resort to coercion tc
force Ireland to submit to injustice.
While therefore the bill gives nc
standing or rights to the suspected
Irishmen, and all the machinery oflaw
is sought to be fixed for his conyic-
J stion, and not the end that justice may
obtain, it is the legitimate outcome
of the spirit which prompts the
denial of the rights of the Irish to
own the lands they till, or, at least to be
allowed to till them on living terms.
It's quite probable that the present
session of Parliament will have no diff
fculty in carrying this obnoxious and
unjust measure through, as the gov
ernment have a clean majority, and
thus far the outlook for oppressed Ire
land is dark enough.

Starkville Citizen Secretary Lamar
has denied the application ofthe Texas
cattle droyers for a new cattle tral
through the Chickasaw reservation OF
the Indian Territory. The policy Of
the Government is to keep open free
to everyone, all public trails and high
ways through the Indian reservation
as well as the organized Territories,
and If the cattlemen want the privilege
|of driving their immense herds
through other portions ofthe Territory
and pasturing them on the journey
which often takes several months, they
must adopt the plan they are forced tc
pursue when going through the private

LAMAR FOB VICE PRESIDENT

Memphis Avalanche Several mon
tbs ago, when the Presidential boom of
1888 was yet in its swaddling clothes,
the Avalanche hinted that the signs of
the times all pointed to the nomination
Of Southern man by the Democratic
party for Vice President. The ball then
started has been kept constantly moving
ever since, its size and speed and force
accelerated with every day which dimin-
Iished the time left for final action. The
Eastern papers have taken the matter
.up, several of them speaking very favor
ably of it and one or two displaying a
disposition to fasten the public mind
upon some of their own selection. If
the South is to have place on the ticket,
naturally the South would prefer to
make its own selection, neither needing
nor caring for any outside aid. As the
Avalanche was the first to preach such
IA doctine, it seems to be the proper thing
that it should lead out the horse which
it has kept darkly standing in the bushes
for these many months. In fact his
identity is SO strongly suspected that it
will be impossible to conceal him longer.
The reader will not be surprised to
know that it is that brilliant orator,
eminent profound legislator and conser
vative Democratic statesman, the Hon
L. @. G. Lamar, of Mississippi.

The Jackson Tragedy.
IN. @. Picavnne.l


While the testimony concerning the
tragedy at Jackson, Miss, is somewhat
conflicting, and the details have not
been as full as usual in such cases, il
would seem that the taking off of young
Gambrell was deliberate assassination.
The spot selected for the attack was
an isolated and lonely ..Dridge, whereon
there would at the time of night seldom
be any travellers, and there are no resi-
dences very near.
The assailants were in a carriage, and
the number engaged in the attack could
not therefore be known to the young
editor. Two or three, or, perhaps four.
persons opened fire upon Gambrell as be
walked along the bridge. The barba- !
rous treatment Of the PROSTATE and dy1
ing youth BY the assailants waq disgrace
TO humanity, and will cause everv true
BIississippian to blush with shame, that
such an act was committed on the soil of
his State.

Columbus commencing May. 18th is ex-
ltremely doubtful. She has been urged

it impossible. Let me beg of our

rather more. Let each one be repre-

THE MUGWUDIPs.

The New MlsSiSSlppian IN a recen
Nhisterical article, which does that pape
&great injustice, in that it detracts from
xthe influence of that paper of real abili
4ty, seeks to excel itself in heapin(
sabuse OF every character upon tht
mugwumps.
& Indeed it is getting popular among
Ia certain class of the followers of thi.
eratic journal to abuse the mugwump:
lin season and out of season. It may
be interesting to know () who the
mugwump is; CD what he did Cd why
4 he is abused
In the first place the mugwump is a
man who thinks more of the purity o
our public service than he does of his
party name. He is a man who could
no longer stand the Republican party,
and of the Plumbed Knight, and pre-
ferred an honest Democrat to a cor
rupt Republican. Do his abusers take
Issue with him here?
What did they do? They meerly
.repolted against their corrupt leader
ships, and gave the Democratic Presi- !
dent in a quarter of a century, they
held the balance ofpublic power and
throw it to the side of public honesty.
They furnished the eleven hundred andI
some odd votes necessary to elect our
ticket. This they did, relying on Mr.
|Cleveland's promise that the countryI
should have business-llke and not al
partisan administration
We would like to know: Whether
some didn't think a great deal of Har-
per's in the days Of the campaign !?
Whether we didn't forgive VIM.
Crutis for parting his hair in the mid
die, in the hope that he would part the
party in the same place?
Whether we didn't have a much
higher opinion of Henry Ward Beecher
after he threw off his allegiance to the
bloody shirt and announced that
principle not prejudice should decide
mems votes?
Whether it isn't better to keep these
,otes in the party, by ceasing the itu-
and abuse which certain pa
'ers delight to heap upon them, and
making them at home in the party?
In view of the election next year, il
Loes not seem to US good policy to h
ilenate votes.
Those who abuse the mugwumps
now why they do it, but the only J
lausible reason that we can see is
lat they expect Mr.. Cleveland to carry 4
ut his promise of non-partisan ad- 4

A DEPLORALE AFFAIR.
Meridian News 10th. !

@plCllOldH views IOln.
b Col. Hamilton claims that Mr.. Gam
Abrell fired first Outside Of the YER
Ydict of the jury, there are logical rea-
gsons which point to the contrary.
4 In the first place, Mr.. Gambrell had
Adenounced Col. Hamilton, and there
gexisted no reason why he should fol
Wow this with an assault with deadly
tweapon. The most logical supposi-
gtion is that until COL Hamilton made
ian aggressive move Mr.. Gambrell was
& mot called on to do more than he had
already done. Col. Hamilton was the
offended party and was the one to
seek redress.
Again the parties had frequently
gpassed each other on the streets o
jackson without conflict and on the
might of the tragedy Mr.. Gambrell
passed Col. Hamilton near the Law
trence House and was on his way home
from Clinton when overtaken by Col.
Hamilton and friend or friends. Il
does seemed that Mr.. Gambrell had no
reason to fire the first shot unless Col.
Hamilton made some move in the ma
|ture Of an assault.
Be this as it may, Immediately after
the shooting Col. Hamilton admitted
that he had Hammered" Mr.. Gam
|brell. The ghastly evidence shows
that he was indeed guilty of such
savage work. What he expected to
gain by frightfully clubbing the pros
|trate man with his pistol is beyond
The fact that he was guilty of such
brutal conduct, gives coloring to the
report that Col. Hamilton shot himself
lin the arm while engaged in the work
of mercilessly "hammering" his dying
How was it that Jackson officers
did not arrest Col. Hamilton and place
him under guard, under bond, and
under official examination as to the
character and extent of his wounds.
So far, no one in this section knows
whether an officer has dared to cross
he sacred threshold or Col. Hamil-
on's home. So far as is known here
le is free to 60 as he wishes.
A man without influence would be
lnder the clutches of the law, and1t
would be known to the world how,
where and to what extent he is woun-
led.
The News does not care to create
on one side or the other, but
here has been just too much ola star
hamber affair about Col Hamilton's
and treatment.
If the evidence supports the verdict
five or six of the coroner's jury it
'oks as if Jackson and the State has
cen treated to a cold blooded aassasi-
alton, and the News hopes that
either fear nor favor will be shown
ol. Jones S. Hamilton. if such
cory can be supported.
The dead man is not here to speak
r himself, but it looks as if he died
defending his own life. If 50, it is
be sincerely hoped that there may
: found witnesses and evidence
lough to bring his assallants to JUS
